Featuring a pitch-perfect comedic performance and some unexpected turns, "First Taste" shows an older man living life to the fullest after tasting his first bottle of Coke. Although Wieden & Kennedy handled all four of Coca-Cola's ads in Super Bowl XLI, this was the first to air from the agency's Amsterdam office. It would be followed in the third quarter by another out of Amsterdam, "Happiness Factory."
